Horseback Riding

Tags horseback riding

Gallop down the beach, amble through back country roads, trot through pastures, along ridges and careen through narrow rainforest switchbacks on the original off-road transportation. Horseback riding is one of Costa Rica's most popular activities. With professional outfits offering tours for riders of all abilities in nearly every destination, horseback riding is one of the most natural, relaxing and fun way to experience the majesty of Costa Rica's landscapes. Enjoy a half-day excursion or pursue an adventure on multi-day trips where a variety of terrains are explored.
